Ads by Shoppi? Cheap4all?

I am getting Pop-up ads for what appears to be "Ads by Shoppi" & "Ads by Cheap4all" as well as pop-up video product ads. Internet search results lead to some variation of PC fixing tool (computerlivehelp.co) or warnings to call to an 855-xxx-xxxx number to disable the pop up ads.

Double click on the file mbam-setup-2.x.x.xxxx.exe to install the application. (x.x.xxxx is the version)

Follow the prompt. At the end place a checkmark in Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, then choose Finish.

When MBAM opens it will says Your database is out of date. Choose Fix Now.

Click on the Scan tab at the top of the window, choose Threat Scan, then Scan Now.

If you receive a message that updates are available, choose Update Now button (the scan will start after updates are completed).

Please be patient as the scan will take some time.

If MBAM detected threats, choose Quarantine for all items, then click Apply Actions.

While still on the Scan tab, choose View detailed log. In the window that opens, click the Export button, choose Text file (*.txt) and save the log to your Desktop.
